Parse HTML with PHP do not remove all the html tag?

I want to parse html using the php. My html file is like this

<div class="main">
    <div class="text">
    Welcom to Stackoverflow
    </div>
</div>

now i want to extract the only this part

 <div class="text">
        Welcom to Stackoverflow
        </div>

for this i create the code like this 

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$tags = $xpath->query('//div[@class="main"]');
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    var_dump(trim($tag->nodeValue));
}

this code gives only the 

Welcom to Stackoverflow

but i want the tag also. how to do this??

The Querypath library for html/xml parsing makes such things much much easier.

If you only want to have the div with class "text" try this:

Change your query to: $xpath->query('//div[@class="text"]'); For the output you need: echo $dom->saveHTML( $tag );

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$tags = $xpath->query('//div[@class="text"]');
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    echo $dom->saveHTML( $tag );
}
